2018 Seed Project preparation started today. I checked to be sure I have everything I need for my projects.
Gathering Supplies Needed:
- 2″x3″ FlexiPlugs plugs and trays.
- Vitazyme
- Carl Pool’s Root Activator
- Bioblast 7-7-7
- Excalibur VI, 11-11-13 – I use Six-month slow release because we are in a longer growing season.
- Merlin’s Potion
- ProMix with Mycorrhizae

This year will be using 2017 as a baseline.
Merlin’s Potion from Florida Colors Nursery, not yet on the market. If 2018 experiments go well we will bring to market, but it largely depends on results from the final tests. Merlin’s Potion is an all organic product designed to boost plant health, growth and most important blooming. I developed it mainly for seedlings. I will post more about it later.

Notes: The 2018 project will be divided into 6 phases:
PHASE I
Seed Selection
PHASE II
Soaking and testing seed viability.
PHASE III
Germinating Seeds
PHASE IV
Growing Seedlings to transplants size
PHASE V
Growing seedlings to the next transplant stage
PHASE VI
Growing seedlings to bloom
Depending on the weather, I’m planning on starting PHASE II, seeds soaking on Feb 1, 2018.
